Attorney Andy Codelka has announced his candidacy for Magisterial District Judge of District Court 05-2-16, which serves the communities of Jefferson Hills, Pleasant Hills, and South Park.

Andy Codelka

Mr. Codelka is a licensed attorney with 15 years of legal experience - the most of any candidate. After completing his undergraduate studies at Allegheny College in Meadville, PA, he earned his Juris Doctorate from Duquesne University, focusing on areas of constitutional law, trial advocacy, and criminal law.

Mr. Codelka, 35, is licensed to practice before both the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania as well as the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. His legal experience has afforded him a wealth of expertise in areas of law that are indispensable to achieving success as a judge. He has chosen to cross-file and campaign on both the Republican and Democrat ballots in the spring primary so that he can represent ALL voters, regardless of political affiliation.

Mr. Codelka has pledged to be a full-time magistrate, leaving his present position and dedicating 100% of his time to the people of the district. He will treat this position with the dedication that the office demands and will not treat it as a mere “stepping stone”. If he is elected, he will be humbled to serve as District Judge as long as the citizens would have him serve.

He asserts, “I want to extend the community outreach of the Magistrate’s office by 1.) holding in-school hearings so that our students never to have miss additional school time; 2.) further the partnership with the D.A.R.E. program so that we can help educate our youth about the growing dangers and consequences of drug addiction, and 3.) work hand-in-hand with our community leaders and law enforcement to make the office as efficient as it can possibly be.”
